About Me

New News!
We'll be recording our new full-length album this Winter if we don't breakup, (it's easy to do) so any labels or distros that wanna help us out in distribution would be greatly appreciated.
Chokecherry has been playing some of these songs under different names and line-ups for the last few years. For a long time it was just Pam and Jon and we were afraid to play out. Since late 2005 Bob and Chris have distracted everyone with their ravishing good looks and we feel ok.
In the last few years we've played all sorts of different venues from punk houses, to DIY spaces and infoshops, to bars, and even the occasional festival. We also play a huge amount of benefits for radical political causes and local DIY culture. In the morningtimes we drink coffee and we are thinking about starting a band kombucha colony.
Our missions is to destroy Capitalism by fermenting transcendent fun. We could also be convinced to build a snow fort.
